Overview
There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of thyroid adenoma, but thyroid nodules can be diagnosed based on an ultrasound examination of the neck, a screening serum TSH level, and fine needle aspiration biopsy.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
- There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of thyroid adenoma, but thyroid nodules can be diagnosed based on an ultrasound examination of the neck, a screening serum TSH level, and fine needle aspiration biopsy.
- Thyroid function tests should be assessed in all patients with thyroid nodules as the primary diagnostic step in all patients with a neck mass.
- Fine needle aspiration biopsy remains the most important diagnostic modality for evaluating patients with a thyroid nodule. A major limitation of fine needle aspiration biopsy, however, is the inability to distinguish a follicular adenoma from a follicular carcinoma.
